Bryant has always done a good job of creating her shot and dropping while being defended, and nothing has changed as her “catch and shoot” has gotten even better

Bryant set the tone early in the game with three 3’s in the first quarter. She has a cannon of a jump shot and the defense did not have an answer for Bryant. She also uses a lot of force to go downhill and create.

Bryant was one of the standouts at the PGH Freshman Showcase, see evaluation here, and having not seen her since her freshman season is a bummer, yet I did get a chance to see how much she elevated her game at the McDonald’s Texas Invitational this season, see evaluation here

Bryant toyed with defenders using a deceptive first step as well as a slight HEZ to attack and score off the dribble. She also did a good job of creating her shot to get it off and drop it over the outstretched hands of whoever was guarding her. Her “catch and shoot” looked good, yet her “on the ball” pressure was smothering at times, as it helped to create turnovers

While there is no known relation to the famous family, I would not be surprised. Alissa has an ideal guard game package. Almost scripted, her arsenal includes dozens of carefully calculated, well-paced steps/dribbles, and shots. She connected consistently on shots off the dribble, two-feet, hop, euro…any and everywhere, with ease. Delivered on-target/on-time passes in traffic through transistion and the break.
